The women will also compete against San Diego State and Palomar College.

Just a Year Ago

The Tritons on the women's side won the meet with 206 total points to easily hold off SDSU (131), CSUSM (114.5), PLNU (67), SDMC (56), Palomar (40.5), Cuyamaca (39) and Southwestern (37). The men had a much closer meet but won with 197 points in all to defeat SDMC (175.5), Cuyamaca (109), CSUSM (102), PLNU (59) and Southwestern (42.5).

Rewind Back to 2012
Among UCSD's returning women, sophomore Sabrina Pimentel won the 400 in 58.04, while senior Jessica Miklaski finished first in the javelin with a top mark of 130' at last year's San Diego Collegiate Challenge. In addition, junior Lorato Anderson took second place in the 800 with a time of 2:19.25.

Three returning Tritons on the men's side both won and in the process cracked their respective event's all-time top 10 lists. Redshirt senior Kiley Libuit reached the No. 3 slot in the men's javelin with his winning mark of 190'5", while junior Quentin McWhorter in the triple jump (46'9") and junior Benjamin Berthet in the pole vault (15'5.75") claimed the No. 6 and No. 7 slots, respectively. McWhorter reached the No. 3 slot all-time later in the season.

Rise of Rosser
